Here are the steps:
1. Capture MIDI events from keyboard to a MIDI sequencer
like Rosegarden or MusE
2. Work at the score (adjust tempo/notes/whatever)
3. Play it through any software synth. I suggest FluidSynth
(www.fluidsynth.org) or Timidity and capture this sound in any
(multitrack) recording editor like ecasound, Ardour or ReZound --
you will need low-latency sound server JACK.
4. Record a resulted WAV file to CD-R/RW
You can find a more precised info at:

and you won't be frustrated if you read the whole

Good luck!
